The mom was already dumb she already knew what was up before her child said anything and she lies about everything. This is very common in the black community moms are jealous of the daughters etc. and treat the sons like they they man or sumn. This is sad mom needs jail time
The whole time this woman spoke I could see the broken little girl in her. God, that must’ve been so hard for her to speak about. Steve treated her with the utmost respect and that compassion he has is what helps his guests so very much.
Victims and survivors have that child at the age it happened to them locked in them. I pray she gets all the help she can. I wish there had been a Steve back when I was young
As soon as your child says something like that you need to protect them at all cost, always take them away from the situation even if they say they were lying. Better safe than sorry.
Yup I agree that's why some parents have failed to protect their kids from sexual abuse or abusive from their father's or any family members. It's sad how the mother failed to protect her child and didn't do anything to prevent it from happening
@@buddhafortune6166 it's sad how a mother's love to her child that you say you love and wouldn't let any man touch her inappropriate way but yet she failed the lie detector test.
“Can I give my daughter a hug?” “She’s your daughter” Nobody asked if she wanted to be hugged. Poor thing looked so uncomfortable and hurt. She shut down while her mother was talking and just stood there while her mother hugged her. Trying to hold back tears. It breaks my heart.
Fuck I know coming from somone who feels that way often about my own mother I hate how she’s always intitled to give me a hug or Whatevr she wants to do
This girl is damaged... ... its awfull to feel like you have nowhere to turn to when you're a kid, you start believing you're Worth nothing... that turns you into a shell of a person when you grow up 😢😢😢
Asking a predator if they did it, is like expecting them to reach both arms out and say ,"Cuff me now". I could not image the fear of a little girl being brought directly to him and having them confronted together 🤦🏻♀️ That was an awful way to handle that...
When Steve started reading the results I just wanted to hug her. She was so heartbroken and devastated, I felt horrible for her. I hope she gets help and can recover to some degree.
He showed it when he said he doesn't think she's even 5% she's not even really 1% in all honesty yes she's got a good life and stuff and has kids and I'm so glad she does but...she's not even 1% in this episode...
Yes. I cannot understand how anyone picks a man’s word over their child with something like this. This beautiful young lady is so hurt it’s really heartbreaking. I hope she can heal and be happy.
@@madjack8893 she didn’t pick the man’s word. She knew for a fact he was doing it and didn’t care. It’s not that she didn’t believe the child. She already knew and decided to do nothing. The girl said she was sent to her father’s house when she misbehaved at school. So the mommy was quite literally allowing the man to molest her daughter as a form of punishment It’s sick
I've done some independent research on this. And it turns out there's more to the story as to why her father did what he did to her. So, here's more context! Deonna's father(James Philips) apparently had been through the same Childhood SA abuse by his step father when he was a child growing up. He tried telling his mother(Deonna's paternal grandmother) about what's been happening to him for a while, but she never did anything to protect him. And basically sided with his step father over him growing up; thus allowing the abuse to continue well into his mid teenage years. His bitter resentment what he went through growing up would carry on well into his adulthood sadly. And when his daughter Deonna got older, that's when he began to commit the same actions on his her as a child; just like how his step father did to him when he was growing up. So it was more than just a "lost childhood", it was a 'Broken Childhood'! A childhood he never healed from either, just like his daughter. It's sad and terrible for both parties! :(
This story is so heartbreaking. You can feel the pain she went through and is still going through just in the way she told Steve her story. Her flat affect spoke volumes. I hope that she will find peace one day. She truly deserves it. Oh and I would be remiss if I didn’t say it was total BS that her so called father only got 10 years for what he did to her!
If you're wondering what her father meant by 'lost childhood' @1:02, well, here's some backstory. As it turns out, Deonna's father(James Phillips) was also a victim of m0l3station and s** abuse when he was a child growing up; by his step-father! Everytime he tried telling his mother(Deonna's paternal grandmother) she never did anything to protect and always shrugged it off and kicked it under the rug. Her father even told his teacher as a child about what was happening to him at home; sadly though even that didn't help him much because once his mother and step-father found out about it and an investigation took place, he was placed in a State home, but eventually placed back into the care of his mother and step-father again due to a "lack of proof". After what had happened, step-father b**t him with his mother even joining in as punishment for nearly "getting them in trouble".And sadly, things only got worse for him from there. As a secondary punishment, his step father r**ed him, thus traumatizing him even more. And all that unhealed trauma her father accumilated as a child growing up would manifest itself into bitterness, anger, rage, resentment, and revenge. And when he became a father to Deonna, that's when he began to commit the same acts onto her; just like how his step-father did to him. It basically became one of those "If I couldn't have a normal and happy childhood, neither can you" kind of scenarios! So it was more than a 'lost childhood', it was a 'broken and damaged childhood' full of trauma and unhealed wounds in his life; just like the unforgivable acts he did onto his daughter! Deonna's father confessed his life story to her when she came to visit him in his incarceration cell almost 6 years before she came on the Steve Wilkos Show! And he also told his daughter that he doesn't blame her if she doesn't forgive him for doing what he did to her as a child in the long run. As he never forgave step-father for violating him as a child as well as his mother for enabling it over the years growing up!
This mother did that on purpose to keep the child quiet. She was protecting the predator over her own child. And all she cares about is projecting that she is a good mother. It was clear that she did not care about her daughter. Even now, blaming her for being scared and not talking at 8 years old. WTF!!! These parents who sell out their children like that should go to jail.
He probably was paying the mom as well you will never know her momma ain’t shit for this I cried all the way through no one especially a child should have to go through this
@raizinboyz your mother is a terrible person for not believing you mothers like this is just as guilty as the person that's doing the abuse I'm sorry you went through this I hope you have a lovely weekend from Mary from the far north of Scotland thurso caithness
I told my mom that my dad was molesting me from the age of 7 to 14. She called me a liar and threw me out. I totally empathize with this poor woman. This kind of stuff causes so much trauma. I am still dealing with PTSD to this day. It destroys you
This story is so heartbreaking. I hope Deonna never brings her children around her mom. Her mom is sick and I am glad she got exposed for what she did.
Facts. She sold her daughter out to a pervert, her father no less. She is just as culpable as he. If deonna ever forgives her, she'll be extremely lucky. I agree, though she lost her granny right for this.
This is probably the saddest story Steve has covered I think. I never cry and even I shed a tear for this poor woman. You can tell she is hurt and completely devasted from what she went through. Her mother completely failed her, KNEW what was going on, did nothing and STILL made her go see her scummy father. Terrible... I truly pray for her, that she gets help and things get much better for her going forward.
I felt so, SO horrible for Deonna. Not only did she sound.......broken, when trying to really express herself as much as possible to Steve, it must've been very frightening and traumatizing to have to retell everything that happened to her growing up. Get better soon Deonna, get better soon. I know you will. I just wanted to give her a hug and assure her that everything will be okay.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Honestly, the saddest story i've come across on here! The poor woman can't even vocalise how she's feeling and It's almost as if she's still trapped in that 8 year old body and is not able to move on! I hope for the sake of her children and her sanity, she gets all the help she needs ! 🙏😩
I'm a Dad of 4 girls and this just broke me. When her mum came out its like she reverted back to being a child... I hope she got the help she needed and Steve's team helped her.🙏🏾😢
The nerve of her “mother” (that’s not a mother.. no real, caring, loving mother fails their child the way she did) to act the way she did backstage. As if SHE was a victim. Smh
Dude as a survivor of CSA hell not only that but as a human being my heart hurt for her so much what her mother did was absolutely disgusting sending her back to that predator over and over and over. and knowing what he was doing that’s despicable. I hope that she’s able to heal and live a peaceful and better life, although it really upsets me, knowing that her childhood was stolen from her because of that monster did.
As a survivor of childhood trauma like this, (not from my dad though) My mother knew. She allowed it. She did nothing about it, but keep allowing it to happen. This shit runs deep in our souls man. It never goes away. It’s always a constant thought. It makes you feel dirty, and disgusting. Makes you feel unloved, unworthy and useless. I hope that she can get help. Even with help she was still psychologically be messed up. Sending lots of love to her and her kids
Why not take her straight to the nearest hospital immediately on first announcement? WTH? What does she mean she did not know, her daughter told her, that is ridiculous and unacceptable - I had to edit this: I knew the mother was full of it, all that exaggerated hand-slapping is a tell-tale sign of lying, she is a total disgrace, prayers for the daughter and her children, she looks so lost and hurt, too bad her mother can't be locked up for being so unconcerned and putting her in harm's way, I'm furious 🤬
I just watched this my heart aches for the daughter 😭❤️ knowing the mother is not a good person the daughter needs help and needs to protect her kids 😔
As soon as she said “ I had no idea what was going on between her and her father” as if it was a relationship I knew she was going to fail … I pray u find peace
Has to read your comment 3x to understand what you were talking about. That was a really good catch.. subtle. "her and her father" makes it a "that's them, I'm not part of it" implication.
I’ve never wanted to give someone a hug more in my entire life. This girl has been through more than one should in a whole life time. I truly feel for her and wish I could help her pain. Not a single soul deserved this 😭
I know this family and I never would’ve thought the mom was like that Deonna is the sweetest person her kids are angels I feel so bad for her I really hope she can get through this😢
"I was a single mother." "I had a suspicion." "I would never allow anyone to hurt her." She failed at all of these things. I feel so bad for people that go through these types of situations. If a child speaks up, anyone. You listen and remove them from that situation.
Her being a single mother has nothing to do with it. She was clearly taking the child to see her father or else he wouldn't of had the opportunity to sexually abuse her for years. Mom definitely failed at things but being a single mother wasnt one of them
What possesses people to consult the host of a television program to provide services that should be provided by professionals in areas of psychology and law enforcement?
@@SloppyxJoe I absolutely hate to hear that brother. I am so glad that you were able to overcome your own personal tragedy. I wish things like this didn't happen or at least that there were more severe consequences.
This story really effed me up actually. When I was 12 I came to my mom right after an incident with a so called family member and she called her right away to confront her. But it didn’t matter, my mother let that person back into me and my sisters lives and continued to let it happen. Now I still deal with the trauma as an adult but I swear on this green earth I will never ever raise my kids the way my mother chose.
I am beyond sick 💔💔 her mother should be in jail with the father she knew the pain her daughter was going through. I could never do something like that to my child
As a woman who’s been abused myself, just hearing that her mother took her daughter over to her father’s house to confront him.. had to be the most horrific uncomfortable feeling ever for a ten yr old. To force her to look her father in his eyes and say “yes he molested me”, to be put on the spot like that… makes me so damn mad!!! That’s a victim’s worse nightmare!!! To have to see their abuser and to have to confront them, forcefully!!! And then on top of that, knowing that he daughter was being touched, she STILL took her over there. 😢 her mother is just as bad as her father. She needs to be punished too. I hope she gets the justice that she needs. This was extremely sad and a bit hard to watch.
Honestly this was the most triggering episode i have watched so far. At the same time my Mother instinct was just wanting to reach through the screen and wrap my arms around Deonna and just take her and her children in my family and give them all the love & protection and support that she so deserves/d and failed to get from birth. :( Not so unlike my own childhood....Something you wish on no child :(
I feel the same way, you suppose to love and nurture ur child, to protect ur child, from my own personal experience I just couldn't and to expose ur child to the abuser who she claims is touching her is just traumatic in itself. I pray that she heals and sending all my life, support, love and I pray God continues to protect her and her kids and you as ur family as well.
That poor woman....you can see the wounds just being ripped open and salt being put in My heart and soul is with her....I had my dad know I was molested and he never said anything to protect me cause the guy helped supply his alcohol
My dad, in the 90s found what would have been a terabyte (today) of kid corn (can't say it here) on a neighbors computer who was known for making little girls uncomfortable, and sent me off to be babysat by him. You can only guess what happened. When I told my parents, and I quote, "I dont wanna say anything because "I don't wanna be "that guy."" Those words are SEARED into my memory as the daughter of someone who refused to protect his own KID without sacrificing his image. That guy died peacefully in his sleep some years ago, but in my opinion he deserves much, much worse. I cant even brush my teeth without gagging, but that scumbag got a peaceful death, and my trauma never happened. Yeah, okay.
This girl broke me - she is in such need of care - pls keep us informed on how she is doing - having had the same kind of experience and at 63 I still suffer - my heart aches for this young lady
If you listened to the lie detector results the mother knew he was violating her before the daughter ever told her. She sent her knowing what he was doing, how disgusting is that. The daughter is 💯 really right her mother does hate her.
Deonna's father(James Phillips) was also m*l*sted and s**ually abused when he himself was a child growing up as it turns out; by his step-father. The trauma he accumulated growing up because of that was the main reason why he did what he did to Deonna when she herself was a child growing up. Thought I'd fill you in on some backstory to what he meant by "Lost Childhood" @1:02. He confessed his own backstory to Deonna when she came to visit him in his incarceration over 6 years before she went on the Steve Wilkos Show! And he also urged her that if she herself were to become a mother in the future to not let her kids go through the same trauma they both went through. And that they deserve the happy normal lives they both should've had when they themselves were kids!
@@G.L.999 What you’re not gonna do is humanize that monster. He knew what he was doing to his daughter was wrong and he still ruined her life and used his own past as justification. He’s exactly where he needs to be. He’s a disgusting piece of shit.
@@BrownSugaBabe maybe not, but I am human and make mistakes as any other human. I begged my daughter for the truth and allowed her to know from the jump i believed her. The show casted me in such a bad light, they don't know how I went and beat him with a bat. They don't know how many days, months and years I begged her for the truth. They don't know I'm the reason he's in prison now and it hurts all the cruel things I've read about me. But me and God, we know. I called the show on hopes of helping my child heal and they said I lied about everything! That's not the truth at all, but if Steve says it, it must be true. Carry on. Fuck Steve and his fake ass show.
She SERIOUSLY questioned an 8 year old in front of her abuser 😢 My goodness she failed at protecting this baby girl. How brave that 8 year old girl was to tell her mom, her mom was a coward listening to a man over her child. I pray to God this young woman gets all the support and love she needs for her healing.
My heart breaks for Deonna! Even as she retells the story, you can see that she becomes child-like and I pray that she can have healing in her heart, soul, and life. I pray that she seeks therapy and continues to heal for herself and her children.
This shattered my heart. This woman protected a predator and did not protect her babygirl. I have never watched an episode that has triggered me more than this one. I want to reach through the screen and hug this beautiful, brave and strong young woman. I pray for her peace and comfort.
I hate what this woman had to go through knowing I went to something similar too but I hope she gets healing from it and can learn and grow from it and turn it into something good for her and her children
dear, Deonna. please know we are all loving u and wish u nothing but greatness and happiness. u are a beautiful and strong person. im not one to comment on videos but this story broke me into pieces, i am a rape victim and was abused by my family all my life, greater things are ahead of u my love, stay strong
As soon as I told my mom I was SA’d by my neighbor, she immediately grounded me and told me I’d be grounded until I apologized to him because it was both of our faults. Even 2 years later, she still won’t admit that it wasn’t my fault that I got SA’d. I didn’t apologize and was eventually ungrounded but got all my socials taken from me, my support system, my friends, everything and everyone. No one believed me. Everyone turned against me and the girl who was there and saw everything said nothing in my defense and even dated the guy and came crying to me once she saw his true colors. I moved out of that neighborhood because of them. I was seriously considering offing myself because of that. Even if your kid says they’re lying, take them out of that situation, protect them. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Get them therapy if you can, be their support system, be there for them in general. I have PTSD from it as well as all of my other experiences with SA and can’t be touched from behind unless I absolutely trust the person touching me and they make themselves known that they’re there and even so, it still helps very little. If I even sense someone is behind me, I’ll scream and curl up into a ball (true story except I had that reaction because I felt a gust of wind from someone walking behind me and flipped out). Don’t let anyone hurt your children. They’re people too and need protection. If something traumatizes someone, especially as a child, they will carry that with them forever. Protect your children.
I know this is harsh, and I don’t mean it to be, but your mom is no mom. Not all mothers are moms. Instead of helping you, she shamed you after going through a traumatic experience, adding insult to injury. It would be best to separate from her until you can heal properly. If she’s worth being in your life, she’ll come begging for forgiveness after you separate. It’s a scar on your soul, and you must put yourself first to soften it, you deserve that. ❤️
I am SO sorry. I too was SA’d not only by my Uncle but also my babysitter too. So many time I tried to say something but would immediately change the subject when I saw how my parents were clearly going to react. It would’ve been the same thing. It started when I was 3 or 4 years old and went until I was about 10 or 11 when both of them realized I was getting too old and was probably gonna tell. even though I’ll be 30 this year, I remember all of it. I know I’m just some stranger on the internet but If no one has ever said it to you, I believe you. I 10000% believe you. I hope you’ve begun to heal and I hope your abuser gets what they clearly deserve. Your mother should’ve been your support system and I am so sorry she wasn’t the mother you needed. Sending you healing and peace love 💜
I really hope you recover from this. No human should ever have to go through that as a kid. Get the help you need, and hopefully you find a partner that'll forever protect you!
I'm so sorry you had to endure that, especially all by yourself. I don't know what the problem is with today's society, but more and more I hear that communities and parents utterly fail SA victims and it's tragic that you had to be one of them. I certainly hope things are better for you now and that you're surrounded by better people. Wishing you all the best moving forward ❤
@@elizabethparrott8810 I was abused by my babysitter too, idr if it was sexually, (due to all my wetting bed and doing things a 6-7 year old kid shouldn't know or do) but definitely physically my parents eventually fired her but they kept her in
STOP MAKING KIDS CONFRONT THEIR ABUSERS. The police should've been the first stop, not her abuser. Believe your kid until it's proven false. There are way too many Steve episodes where the mom tries to make their child admit what's happening in front of their abuser. Completely wrong!!! Stop.
her mom does not deserve to be a part of Deonna or her kids lives at ALL. & I think she knows it too that’s why she wanted that final hug before she was exposed smh this is so sick. seems like she was protecting the abuser instead of her daughter because it was convenient to send her daughter there when she acted out, what child wouldn’t act out when she’s being violated by her own father? she was failed by everyone around her and I hope she finds peace and heals and only ever experiences LOVE and comfort from this day forward. 😢❤️
I watch this show all the time but this story has really stuck out to me because of the pain from the victim. No one deserves to go through that. I got a daughter and a son and if they came to me saying someone touched them, I immediately would protect and remove them from harm. Thats a MOTHERS INSTINCT. Its disgusting when people allow children to be damaged over their own sick shit upstairs. Wishing healing for this sweet woman. ❤
People are seriously so monstrous in this world. Being a mom to 3 boys I’m just as scared for them as I would be if I had a daughter 😢 That mother should be ashamed of herself and her “father” can rot..I hope she continues to be strong for her babies and protects them which I’m sure she will! No man is worth protecting when it comes to YOUR KIDS. he should’ve been locked up immediately once that little girl spoke. Smh.
Victims/survivors have that child locked away inside of them from the age of when it happened. I'm praying with her speaking out and her dad in jail that it will help her. And now talking to Steve and getting it out I pray this sets her free. Wish I had a Steve when I was young
8:35 Deonna's body language here is beyond heartbreaking... pulling her dress down and closing her jacket, she was trying to cover herself up. OMG 😢😭😭😭🫂💕 (edit for time stamp)
Why do these mothers think taking their child in front of their offender to ask if it's true is Okay. They get scared all over again. So put said child in a safe place away from that conversation then talk to the offender. Call the cops and what not. But dragging the child in there to talk to their offender was legit the worse option
The sheer pain in her eyes; it’s so deep..bless her spirit greatly. She’s in a trance here of I’m sure a multitude of things, or the brain simply disassociating to survive. If you ever read this; you DESERVE, the utmost right to, and WILL receive a level of peace and reunification with self one day you never thought you would 🕊 and that one day doesn’t have to be far, healing is never linear; but I believe in your journey-your healing, and for you to have joy in your eyes/spirit again. Cultivate serenity in the here and now with your children as much as possible, you are not alone (even when it is us whom go through the experience alone), reach out to spirit, seek help, mostly reach inward; you are safe 🙏 I wish you the best ❤️ Ps: you’re more than 5% beautiful woman, you are SO much more than that 🕊
my heart breaks for her cuz i do relate to her situation . family can be the reason of our sorrow and hurt i never cried in an episode this much in long time
A prime example of a person who doesn't need to utter a word to reveal they are experiencing mental anguish by the hands of others. The term 'failed' is insufficient to describe what this mother did to her own child. This woman's entire soul has been shattered.
The Mom was a single Mom and didn't want to lose her babysitter, what a sick and selfish woman. I pray this young lady can piece her heart back together by being a Mom to her babies. Prayers and Love to her 🙏 ❤️
Her mother is my mother. Only my mom doesn't flat out lie about not knowing, she's got "amnesia". It's sickening. Exhausting. Etc. I'll never be able to wrap my head around someone harming a child - let alone THEIR OWN!
Same here she caught my brother on top of me put him out no shoes no clothes in the snow I was about 6 I remember everything and she doesn’t o please the mothers are pitiy
Its sad for them both. The mom was in denial. I believe if she would turn back the hands of time she would handle it differently. I hope this girl gets the help she needs ❤️❤️
I feel so sorry for that young lady who got taken advantage by her own father who is supposed to protect her , loving her as a father to his daughter and he did this to his own daughter . As for her mother she knew what tf happen and she allowed it to happen . But that young lady is a mother to her own child or children so i hope she learn from her trauma past that she will be a better mother to her children and their father won't take any advantage to their children like her father did to her when she was young . I hope she seek God & therapy .
This is heartbreaking. Obviously if you ask a predator if they did it, they’re gonna say no. If she was actually protecting her daughter she would’ve put her daughter back in the car and never let him near her again. Regardless of what he said. This is so sick I can’t believe she did that as a mother and just casually let it go.
It's been a tumultuous day. Unfortunately, the mother failed to protect and support her daughter. I hope that Deonna finds peace and makes progress towards healing.
Oh, oh that's horrible. And I actually believed that the mom was clueless from the tape smh. I'm so so sorry to this woman, she and her kids will always be in my prayers. Seriously, how sick do you have to be to knowingly leave your child with a man who is ruining her like that???
I knew it the whole time the daughter even said she ain’t do nun to help her then when the mom was on stage she acted like she cared when she knew the whole time
This story is gut-wrenching. My heart breaks for this young lady, you can tell she's in so much pain. I hope she has a good network of friends and family who can help her feel whole. I wish i could give her a big hug. 💛
First of all, this woman is absolutely beautiful, inside and out. I hope she knows this. I hate that this happened to her and what’s worse, is the fact that no one believed her and did nothing to help her heal! Praying for her! Just unreal!
A lot of times I think when children take back their accusations especially when they as young as eight will feel an immense amount of guilt based on how the adults around them react. Interrogating them, asking them the same questions, being visibly upset, probably scares them so much they just want everything to go back to the way it was, even if how it was was horrible for them because they don't know that it can get better for them. Children will put so much responsibility onto themselves over adult issues, it's a scary time for them and the least adults can do is make them feel safe and comfortable.
This made me cry 😢 Honestly this is just so awful. I know she is an adult but I feel for her as a child having to go through that. Failed by both her so called parents. I don't think I could ever have a relationship with my mother if I were her 🙁 I wish her all the best going forward.
My heart breaks for her. Both of her parents abused her. I hope she gets therapy, because she looks like that scared little girl still. I just want to hug her and help her!!
Whenever there's a serious topic and somebody spews little things thar are so insignificant to the main issue it means they are trying to skate around the questions. That mother knew..if that's what you want to call her...AND I KNEW RIGHT WHEN SHE FIRST SPOKE
Never ask your child if they are being abused in front of their abuser. How dumb can these parents be?
It always makes me mad when people do that.. they literally scare the kid into taking it back
I was thinking the same thing. How horrible was that mom
The mom was already dumb she already knew what was up before her child said anything and she lies about everything. This is very common in the black community moms are jealous of the daughters etc. and treat the sons like they they man or sumn. This is sad mom needs jail time
Exactly she’s stupid 🤦♀️
Wasn't that the most stupid @ss thing?? I think the mom was alerting him moreso than seeking the truth as she, obviously, already knew it.
The whole time this woman spoke I could see the broken little girl in her. God, that must’ve been so hard for her to speak about. Steve treated her with the utmost respect and that compassion he has is what helps his guests so very much.
Victims and survivors have that child at the age it happened to them locked in them. I pray she gets all the help she can. I wish there had been a Steve back when I was young
As soon as your child says something like that you need to protect them at all cost, always take them away from the situation even if they say they were lying. Better safe than sorry.
Yup I agree that's why some parents have failed to protect their kids from sexual abuse or abusive from their father's or any family members. It's sad how the mother failed to protect her child and didn't do anything to prevent it from happening
The thing with this situation is the mom already knew before the daughter said something wicked sick evil woman.
@@buddhafortune6166 it's sad how a mother's love to her child that you say you love and wouldn't let any man touch her inappropriate way but yet she failed the lie detector test.
exactly!!!
This is so sad
“Can I give my daughter a hug?”
“She’s your daughter”
Nobody asked if she wanted to be hugged. Poor thing looked so uncomfortable and hurt. She shut down while her mother was talking and just stood there while her mother hugged her. Trying to hold back tears. It breaks my heart.
Fr. It it was definitely a goodbye hug, she knew she was gonna fail and she knew the relationship was over.
@@bunni1722that’s exactly what I thought
Fuck I know coming from somone who feels that way often about my own mother I hate how she’s always intitled to give me a hug or Whatevr she wants to do
It enrages me that no body asks the right person permssiin
This girl is damaged... ... its awfull to feel like you have nowhere to turn to when you're a kid, you start believing you're Worth nothing... that turns you into a shell of a person when you grow up 😢😢😢

Deonna and I have the same way except my name is spelled DeAnna and it's pronounced differently.
Exactly.
@@deanna4741 That’s nice
When Steve started reading the results I just wanted to hug her.
She was so heartbroken and devastated, I felt horrible for her.
I hope she gets help and can recover to some degree.
I love the empathy that Steve showed to this woman. He seen she was broken 😢 I pray this woman gets healing.
He showed it when he said he doesn't think she's even 5% she's not even really 1% in all honesty yes she's got a good life and stuff and has kids and I'm so glad she does but...she's not even 1% in this episode...
Notice how Steve at the end is heartbroken and wants to console her but gives her time to calm down. Mad respect. This show has touched my heart.
And he doesn’t initiate physical contact. He’s a good man
It’s the fact she knew before her daughter told her that’s sick 😢praying for you babygirl
Yes. I cannot understand how anyone picks a man’s word over their child with something like this. This beautiful young lady is so hurt it’s really heartbreaking. I hope she can heal and be happy.
@@madjack8893 she didn’t pick the man’s word. She knew for a fact he was doing it and didn’t care. It’s not that she didn’t believe the child. She already knew and decided to do nothing.
The girl said she was sent to her father’s house when she misbehaved at school. So the mommy was quite literally allowing the man to molest her daughter as a form of punishment
It’s sick
I'm crying I haven't finished the video n reading this whaaaaaaat my heart
I've done some independent research on this. And it turns out there's more to the story as to why her father did what he did to her. So, here's more context!
Deonna's father(James Philips) apparently had been through the same Childhood SA abuse by his step father when he was a child growing up. He tried telling his mother(Deonna's paternal grandmother) about what's been happening to him for a while, but she never did anything to protect him. And basically sided with his step father over him growing up; thus allowing the abuse to continue well into his mid teenage years. His bitter resentment what he went through growing up would carry on well into his adulthood sadly. And when his daughter Deonna got older, that's when he began to commit the same actions on his her as a child; just like how his step father did to him when he was growing up.
So it was more than just a "lost childhood", it was a 'Broken Childhood'! A childhood he never healed from either, just like his daughter. It's sad and terrible for both parties! :(
@@G.L.999 you sick f he is an animal to put someone through what you went through makes you a monster
This story is so heartbreaking. You can feel the pain she went through and is still going through just in the way she told Steve her story. Her flat affect spoke volumes. I hope that she will find peace one day. She truly deserves it. Oh and I would be remiss if I didn’t say it was total BS that her so called father only got 10 years for what he did to her!
If you're wondering what her father meant by 'lost childhood' @1:02, well, here's some backstory.
As it turns out, Deonna's father(James Phillips) was also a victim of m0l3station and s** abuse when he was a child growing up; by his step-father! Everytime he tried telling his mother(Deonna's paternal grandmother) she never did anything to protect and always shrugged it off and kicked it under the rug. Her father even told his teacher as a child about what was happening to him at home; sadly though even that didn't help him much because once his mother and step-father found out about it and an investigation took place, he was placed in a State home, but eventually placed back into the care of his mother and step-father again due to a "lack of proof". After what had happened, step-father b**t him with his mother even joining in as punishment for nearly "getting them in trouble".And sadly, things only got worse for him from there. As a secondary punishment, his step father r**ed him, thus traumatizing him even more.
And all that unhealed trauma her father accumilated as a child growing up would manifest itself into bitterness, anger, rage, resentment, and revenge. And when he became a father to Deonna, that's when he began to commit the same acts onto her; just like how his step-father did to him. It basically became one of those "If I couldn't have a normal and happy childhood, neither can you" kind of scenarios!
So it was more than a 'lost childhood', it was a 'broken and damaged childhood' full of trauma and unhealed wounds in his life; just like the unforgivable acts he did onto his daughter!
Deonna's father confessed his life story to her when she came to visit him in his incarceration cell almost 6 years before she came on the Steve Wilkos Show! And he also told his daughter that he doesn't blame her if she doesn't forgive him for doing what he did to her as a child in the long run. As he never forgave step-father for violating him as a child as well as his mother for enabling it over the years growing up!
This mother did that on purpose to keep the child quiet. She was protecting the predator over her own child. And all she cares about is projecting that she is a good mother. It was clear that she did not care about her daughter. Even now, blaming her for being scared and not talking at 8 years old. WTF!!! These parents who sell out their children like that should go to jail.
I tried telling my mom when I was 8 about the sexual abuse. She told me that I must have been dreaming.
@@raizinboyz Demonic "mother". Sorry you went thru that. 🫂💕
He probably was paying the mom as well you will never know her momma ain’t shit for this I cried all the way through no one especially a child should have to go through this
@raizinboyz your mother is a terrible person for not believing you mothers like this is just as guilty as the person that's doing the abuse I'm sorry you went through this I hope you have a lovely weekend from Mary from the far north of Scotland thurso caithness
@@raizinboyz 🤯😤
I told my mom that my dad was molesting me from the age of 7 to 14. She called me a liar and threw me out. I totally empathize with this poor woman. This kind of stuff causes so much trauma. I am still dealing with PTSD to this day. It destroys you
😢
😢❤
That’s completely unfair, undeserved and unforgivable. I hope you heal enough to find peace most of the time ❤
@@AirWindFire thank you 🙏
I'm so sorry hun...I pray your life brings so many good blessings. You didn't deserve that, no one does.
This story is so heartbreaking. I hope Deonna never brings her children around her mom. Her mom is sick and I am glad she got exposed for what she did.
Facts. She sold her daughter out to a pervert, her father no less. She is just as culpable as he. If deonna ever forgives her, she'll be extremely lucky. I agree, though she lost her granny right for this.
This is probably the saddest story Steve has covered I think. I never cry and even I shed a tear for this poor woman. You can tell she is hurt and completely devasted from what she went through. Her mother completely failed her, KNEW what was going on, did nothing and STILL made her go see her scummy father. Terrible... I truly pray for her, that she gets help and things get much better for her going forward.
I felt so, SO horrible for Deonna. Not only did she sound.......broken, when trying to really express herself as much as possible to Steve, it must've been very frightening and traumatizing to have to retell everything that happened to her growing up. Get better soon Deonna, get better soon. I know you will. I just wanted to give her a hug and assure her that everything will be okay.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Amen I agree she is a beast from hell
Honestly, the saddest story i've come across on here! The poor woman can't even vocalise how she's feeling and It's almost as if she's still trapped in that 8 year old body and is not able to move on! I hope for the sake of her children and her sanity, she gets all the help she needs ! 🙏😩
I'm a Dad of 4 girls and this just broke me.
When her mum came out its like she reverted back to being a child...
I hope she got the help she needed and Steve's team helped her.🙏🏾😢
The nerve of her “mother” (that’s not a mother.. no real, caring, loving mother fails their child the way she did) to act the way she did backstage. As if SHE was a victim. Smh
The mother can go face disgrace.
I’m saying
She IS a mother but I don't mean that as her being a parent.
She started the victim stuff on stage talking about being a single mom…
True. It only got worse backstage.
Dude as a survivor of CSA hell not only that but as a human being my heart hurt for her so much what her mother did was absolutely disgusting sending her back to that predator over and over and over. and knowing what he was doing that’s despicable. I hope that she’s able to heal and live a peaceful and better life, although it really upsets me, knowing that her childhood was stolen from her because of that monster did.
As a survivor of childhood trauma like this, (not from my dad though)
My mother knew. She allowed it. She did nothing about it, but keep allowing it to happen. This shit runs deep in our souls man. It never goes away. It’s always a constant thought. It makes you feel dirty, and disgusting. Makes you feel unloved, unworthy and useless. I hope that she can get help. Even with help she was still psychologically be messed up.
Sending lots of love to her and her kids

She already knew it was happening before her daughter even told her about it ?! What a sick excuse for a mother
Why not take her straight to the nearest hospital immediately on first announcement? WTH? What does she mean she did not know, her daughter told her, that is ridiculous and unacceptable - I had to edit this: I knew the mother was full of it, all that exaggerated hand-slapping is a tell-tale sign of lying, she is a total disgrace, prayers for the daughter and her children, she looks so lost and hurt, too bad her mother can't be locked up for being so unconcerned and putting her in harm's way, I'm furious 🤬
As soon as she ran off my heart broke. That sorry excuse for a mother is disgusting. How could u force ur baby to go through that and say u love them
That mother infuriates me. Horrible.
Me too this is crazy
I just watched this my heart aches for the daughter 😭❤️ knowing the mother is not a good person the daughter needs help and needs to protect her kids 😔
Me too!
she reminds me of my mother; this isn't a compliment.
"I almost died inside." Yeah, almost don't count. Try harder.
She's literally dissociating on that while her mother's talking. I'm so glad Steve was able to see it, at least. She desperately needs long term help.
As soon as she said “ I had no idea what was going on between her and her father” as if it was a relationship I knew she was going to fail … I pray u find peace
I thought that wording was strange too. Wasn't sure if it was just me
i caught that too
Me too!
Has to read your comment 3x to understand what you were talking about. That was a really good catch.. subtle. "her and her father" makes it a "that's them, I'm not part of it" implication.
Yes! Five seconds into the video I knew the mom was lying because of that one statement.
I’ve never wanted to give someone a hug more in my entire life. This girl has been through more than one should in a whole life time. I truly feel for her and wish I could help her pain. Not a single soul deserved this 😭
Basically her mom gave her a hug goodbye. She knows it's over! Give the daughter that
You are Absolutely right
I know this family and I never would’ve thought the mom was like that Deonna is the sweetest person her kids are angels I feel so bad for her I really hope she can get through this😢
Give that mother hell for Deonna. And for all of us.
"I was a single mother." "I had a suspicion." "I would never allow anyone to hurt her." She failed at all of these things. I feel so bad for people that go through these types of situations. If a child speaks up, anyone. You listen and remove them from that situation.
it's sadly an all too common scenario, speaking from experience.
@@SloppyxJoe God bless you. Be at peace
Her being a single mother has nothing to do with it. She was clearly taking the child to see her father or else he wouldn't of had the opportunity to sexually abuse her for years. Mom definitely failed at things but being a single mother wasnt one of them
What possesses people to consult the host of a television program to provide services that should be provided by professionals in areas of psychology and law enforcement?
@@SloppyxJoe I absolutely hate to hear that brother. I am so glad that you were able to overcome your own personal tragedy. I wish things like this didn't happen or at least that there were more severe consequences.
This story really effed me up actually. When I was 12 I came to my mom right after an incident with a so called family member and she called her right away to confront her. But it didn’t matter, my mother let that person back into me and my sisters lives and continued to let it happen. Now I still deal with the trauma as an adult but I swear on this green earth I will never ever raise my kids the way my mother chose.
I'm sorry.
I am beyond sick 💔💔 her mother should be in jail with the father she knew the pain her daughter was going through. I could never do something like that to my child
She definitely should!
just sickening!!
I'm not a mother but if a child came to me and said 'so and so is touching me' then there's no way in hell I'm letting them anywhere near that person!
Right! Ever Again!
Exactly!! I feel sick, that poor child was let down by her momma
Amen
Exactly!!! No reason for a child to make a lie like that . They don't even know what's happening!!!! My heart goes out !
She wanted a “break” from her child so she couldn’t lose that babysitter “predator “ of a father. Bless this woman Lord!!
Some people do not deserve to have kids…
So True about that
Spot on
Agree
Life is so backwards we have half bad parents with kids and the rest left possibly childless or unable to have kids.
Yep, you need a license to catch a fish but anyone can have a child!
As a woman who’s been abused myself, just hearing that her mother took her daughter over to her father’s house to confront him.. had to be the most horrific uncomfortable feeling ever for a ten yr old. To force her to look her father in his eyes and say “yes he molested me”, to be put on the spot like that… makes me so damn mad!!! That’s a victim’s worse nightmare!!! To have to see their abuser and to have to confront them, forcefully!!! And then on top of that, knowing that he daughter was being touched, she STILL took her over there. 😢 her mother is just as bad as her father. She needs to be punished too. I hope she gets the justice that she needs. This was extremely sad and a bit hard to watch.
Honestly this was the most triggering episode i have watched so far. At the same time my Mother instinct was just wanting to reach through the screen and wrap my arms around Deonna and just take her and her children in my family and give them all the love & protection and support that she so deserves/d and failed to get from birth. :( Not so unlike my own childhood....Something you wish on no child :(
❤️
Not even mother instincts. It's human instincts .
I feel the same way, you suppose to love and nurture ur child, to protect ur child, from my own personal experience I just couldn't and to expose ur child to the abuser who she claims is touching her is just traumatic in itself. I pray that she heals and sending all my life, support, love and I pray God continues to protect her and her kids and you as ur family as well.
@@ciaramist9435 Thank you hun for your well wishes
@@tamaddo-carr5911 Agree... n Yet her own Mother made her face her abuser... Bloody sad isn't it :(
Of all the molestation stories I’ve ever heard on this show this is about the saddest one I’ve ever heard
That poor woman....you can see the wounds just being ripped open and salt being put in
My heart and soul is with her....I had my dad know I was molested and he never said anything to protect me cause the guy helped supply his alcohol
My dad, in the 90s found what would have been a terabyte (today) of kid corn (can't say it here) on a neighbors computer who was known for making little girls uncomfortable, and sent me off to be babysat by him. You can only guess what happened. When I told my parents, and I quote, "I dont wanna say anything because "I don't wanna be "that guy."" Those words are SEARED into my memory as the daughter of someone who refused to protect his own KID without sacrificing his image. That guy died peacefully in his sleep some years ago, but in my opinion he deserves much, much worse. I cant even brush my teeth without gagging, but that scumbag got a peaceful death, and my trauma never happened. Yeah, okay.

This girl broke me - she is in such need of care - pls keep us informed on how she is doing - having had the same kind of experience and at 63 I still suffer - my heart aches for this young lady
This is the most emotional I've ever seen Steve and the audience. I don't think I've ever felt so much for a person on the show.
If you listened to the lie detector results the mother knew he was violating her before the daughter ever told her. She sent her knowing what he was doing, how disgusting is that. The daughter is 💯 really right her mother does hate her.
Deonna's father(James Phillips) was also m*l*sted and s**ually abused when he himself was a child growing up as it turns out; by his step-father. The trauma he accumulated growing up because of that was the main reason why he did what he did to Deonna when she herself was a child growing up. Thought I'd fill you in on some backstory to what he meant by "Lost Childhood" @1:02.
He confessed his own backstory to Deonna when she came to visit him in his incarceration over 6 years before she went on the Steve Wilkos Show! And he also urged her that if she herself were to become a mother in the future to not let her kids go through the same trauma they both went through. And that they deserve the happy normal lives they both should've had when they themselves were kids!
@@G.L.999 What you’re not gonna do is humanize that monster. He knew what he was doing to his daughter was wrong and he still ruined her life and used his own past as justification. He’s exactly where he needs to be. He’s a disgusting piece of shit.
@@G.L.999it’s crazy that he didn’t think twice about inflicting the same trauma he experienced on his own child. May he rot below.
her sitting there.. face to face with Steve... detailing a horrific story was shocking.. I believed her story right from the get go..
I did too. The fact that the mom asked her in front of him just blows my mind. She didn’t handle it correctly at all.
@@BrownSugaBabe maybe not, but I am human and make mistakes as any other human. I begged my daughter for the truth and allowed her to know from the jump i believed her. The show casted me in such a bad light, they don't know how I went and beat him with a bat. They don't know how many days, months and years I begged her for the truth. They don't know I'm the reason he's in prison now and it hurts all the cruel things I've read about me. But me and God, we know. I called the show on hopes of helping my child heal and they said I lied about everything! That's not the truth at all, but if Steve says it, it must be true. Carry on. Fuck Steve and his fake ass show.
Why do parents ask, are you sure? Now the child feels like the adult they're telling don't believe him/her.
" i had no idea "
" she tried to tell me , she said he was molesting her "
is this fucking real life
She SERIOUSLY questioned an 8 year old in front of her abuser 😢 My goodness she failed at protecting this baby girl. How brave that 8 year old girl was to tell her mom, her mom was a coward listening to a man over her child. I pray to God this young woman gets all the support and love she needs for her healing.
She even knew what he did before this moment.
That's what the detector results saying.
My heart breaks for Deonna! Even as she retells the story, you can see that she becomes child-like and I pray that she can have healing in her heart, soul, and life. I pray that she seeks therapy and continues to heal for herself and her children.
She knew..... Oh my god. Her own dad and her mom knew and did nothing. They didn't deserve to be parents. This poor girl.
This shattered my heart. This woman protected a predator and did not protect her babygirl. I have never watched an episode that has triggered me more than this one. I want to reach through the screen and hug this beautiful, brave and strong young woman. I pray for her peace and comfort.
I totally agree with you on that I couldn’t believe what I’ve heard the mother have the audacity to yell and scream knowing that she lied
"i Had an Idea" sooooooo that means you KNEW!!!!!! she needs to Accept that shes a HORRIBLE mother and FAILED her own daughters!!! Just sick!
I would never make my child face their abuser and get them to say that in front of them. That’s just cruel, no wonder why she retracted it.
That poor girl.... both parents deserve the chair
This broke my heart seeing Steve almost cry for this victim unless it’s happened to ya can’t imagine what they go through
I know it truly is sad I got emotional as well 😢
When Did He Almost Cry
I hate what this woman had to go through knowing I went to something similar too but I hope she gets healing from it and can learn and grow from it and turn it into something good for her and her children
I just want to hug Deonna. My heart hurts so much for her. Your mother is supposed to protect you! Shame on her mother!
dear, Deonna. please know we are all loving u and wish u nothing but greatness and happiness. u are a beautiful and strong person. im not one to comment on videos but this story broke me into pieces, i am a rape victim and was abused by my family all my life, greater things are ahead of u my love, stay strong
This breaks my heart hearing this 😢 How can a mother who brought a child in the world let that happen to her daughter.
I know it truly is sad that got me emotional 😢
Thank God for Steve Wilkos. He’s very compassionate. May God always bless him and his family. May God bless the Steve Wilkos Show. ❤
As soon as I told my mom I was SA’d by my neighbor, she immediately grounded me and told me I’d be grounded until I apologized to him because it was both of our faults. Even 2 years later, she still won’t admit that it wasn’t my fault that I got SA’d. I didn’t apologize and was eventually ungrounded but got all my socials taken from me, my support system, my friends, everything and everyone. No one believed me. Everyone turned against me and the girl who was there and saw everything said nothing in my defense and even dated the guy and came crying to me once she saw his true colors. I moved out of that neighborhood because of them. I was seriously considering offing myself because of that. Even if your kid says they’re lying, take them out of that situation, protect them. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Get them therapy if you can, be their support system, be there for them in general. I have PTSD from it as well as all of my other experiences with SA and can’t be touched from behind unless I absolutely trust the person touching me and they make themselves known that they’re there and even so, it still helps very little. If I even sense someone is behind me, I’ll scream and curl up into a ball (true story except I had that reaction because I felt a gust of wind from someone walking behind me and flipped out). Don’t let anyone hurt your children. They’re people too and need protection. If something traumatizes someone, especially as a child, they will carry that with them forever. Protect your children.
I know this is harsh, and I don’t mean it to be, but your mom is no mom.
Not all mothers are moms. Instead of helping you, she shamed you after going through a traumatic experience, adding insult to injury.
It would be best to separate from her until you can heal properly. If she’s worth being in your life, she’ll come begging for forgiveness after you separate.
It’s a scar on your soul, and you must put yourself first to
soften it, you deserve that. ❤️
I am SO sorry. I too was SA’d not only by my Uncle but also my babysitter too. So many time I tried to say something but would immediately change the subject when I saw how my parents were clearly going to react. It would’ve been the same thing. It started when I was 3 or 4 years old and went until I was about 10 or 11 when both of them realized I was getting too old and was probably gonna tell. even though I’ll be 30 this year, I remember all of it. I know I’m just some stranger on the internet but If no one has ever said it to you, I believe you. I 10000% believe you. I hope you’ve begun to heal and I hope your abuser gets what they clearly deserve. Your mother should’ve been your support system and I am so sorry she wasn’t the mother you needed. Sending you healing and peace love 💜
I really hope you recover from this. No human should ever have to go through that as a kid. Get the help you need, and hopefully you find a partner that'll forever protect you!
I'm so sorry you had to endure that, especially all by yourself. I don't know what the problem is with today's society, but more and more I hear that communities and parents utterly fail SA victims and it's tragic that you had to be one of them. I certainly hope things are better for you now and that you're surrounded by better people.
Wishing you all the best moving forward ❤
@@elizabethparrott8810 I was abused by my babysitter too, idr if it was sexually, (due to all my wetting bed and doing things a 6-7 year old kid shouldn't know or do) but definitely physically my parents eventually fired her but they kept her in
STOP MAKING KIDS CONFRONT THEIR ABUSERS. The police should've been the first stop, not her abuser. Believe your kid until it's proven false. There are way too many Steve episodes where the mom tries to make their child admit what's happening in front of their abuser. Completely wrong!!! Stop.
her mom does not deserve to be a part of Deonna or her kids lives at ALL. & I think she knows it too that’s why she wanted that final hug before she was exposed smh this is so sick. seems like she was protecting the abuser instead of her daughter because it was convenient to send her daughter there when she acted out, what child wouldn’t act out when she’s being violated by her own father? she was failed by everyone around her and I hope she finds peace and heals and only ever experiences LOVE and comfort from this day forward. 😢❤️
Then the mother really tried to manipulate her on stage, this is just so sad man😕
Not just the father but the mother caused this poor woman's pain. I hope and pray she gets the help she needs. 🙏🏻❤️
How could a dad do that to his own daughter or anyone else… shame on him🤦🏾♀️💔
She knew before her daughter told her…. Bro wtf 💔💔💔 people are sick asffff
I watch this show all the time but this story has really stuck out to me because of the pain from the victim. No one deserves to go through that. I got a daughter and a son and if they came to me saying someone touched them, I immediately would protect and remove them from harm. Thats a MOTHERS INSTINCT. Its disgusting when people allow children to be damaged over their own sick shit upstairs. Wishing healing for this sweet woman. ❤
People are seriously so monstrous in this world. Being a mom to 3 boys I’m just as scared for them as I would be if I had a daughter 😢 That mother should be ashamed of herself and her “father” can rot..I hope she continues to be strong for her babies and protects them which I’m sure she will! No man is worth protecting when it comes to YOUR KIDS. he should’ve been locked up immediately once that little girl spoke. Smh.
Wow!! This is insane!! It brakes my heart! How could a MOTHER do this to her baby!!!
i dont even see an adult, i see a broken child...i hope Deonna can heal..its not going to be easy, but i pray that she heals the way she needs to.
So True I totally agree with you prayers for that young woman 🙏
Victims/survivors have that child locked away inside of them from the age of when it happened. I'm praying with her speaking out and her dad in jail that it will help her. And now talking to Steve and getting it out I pray this sets her free. Wish I had a Steve when I was young
Keep those kids away from them!!!
8:35 Deonna's body language here is beyond heartbreaking... pulling her dress down and closing her jacket, she was trying to cover herself up. OMG 😢😭😭😭🫂💕
(edit for time stamp)
I knew when she said I took her to her father right after she told her mom I'm thinking that's not right
every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserve a child. 😪
^
Why do these mothers think taking their child in front of their offender to ask if it's true is Okay. They get scared all over again. So put said child in a safe place away from that conversation then talk to the offender. Call the cops and what not. But dragging the child in there to talk to their offender was legit the worse option
The sheer pain in her eyes; it’s so deep..bless her spirit greatly. She’s in a trance here of I’m sure a multitude of things, or the brain simply disassociating to survive. If you ever read this; you DESERVE, the utmost right to, and WILL receive a level of peace and reunification with self one day you never thought you would 🕊 and that one day doesn’t have to be far, healing is never linear; but I believe in your journey-your healing, and for you to have joy in your eyes/spirit again. Cultivate serenity in the here and now with your children as much as possible, you are not alone (even when it is us whom go through the experience alone), reach out to spirit, seek help, mostly reach inward; you are safe 🙏 I wish you the best ❤️
Ps: you’re more than 5% beautiful woman, you are SO much more than that 🕊
If your child ever says someone is messing with them DO NOT MAKE THEM CONFRONT THAT PERSON!!! How awful that poor girl.
my heart breaks for her cuz i do relate to her situation . family can be the reason of our sorrow and hurt i never cried in an episode this much in long time
A prime example of a person who doesn't need to utter a word to reveal they are experiencing mental anguish by the hands of others.
The term 'failed' is insufficient to describe what this mother did to her own child. This woman's entire soul has been shattered.
The Mom was a single Mom and didn't want to lose her babysitter, what a sick and selfish woman. I pray this young lady can piece her heart back together by being a Mom to her babies. Prayers and Love to her 🙏 ❤️
Mother: "she hates me"
Us: "SO DO WE"😡
Her mother is my mother. Only my mom doesn't flat out lie about not knowing, she's got "amnesia".
It's sickening. Exhausting. Etc.
I'll never be able to wrap my head around someone harming a child - let alone THEIR OWN!
Same here she caught my brother on top of me put him out no shoes no clothes in the snow I was about 6 I remember everything and she doesn’t o please the mothers are pitiy
Pitiful
Its sad for them both. The mom was in denial. I believe if she would turn back the hands of time she would handle it differently. I hope this girl gets the help she needs ❤️❤️
I feel so sorry for that young lady who got taken advantage by her own father who is supposed to protect her , loving her as a father to his daughter and he did this to his own daughter . As for her mother she knew what tf happen and she allowed it to happen . But that young lady is a mother to her own child or children so i hope she learn from her trauma past that she will be a better mother to her children and their father won't take any advantage to their children like her father did to her when she was young . I hope she seek God & therapy .
It broke my heart
This is heartbreaking. Obviously if you ask a predator if they did it, they’re gonna say no. If she was actually protecting her daughter she would’ve put her daughter back in the car and never let him near her again. Regardless of what he said. This is so sick I can’t believe she did that as a mother and just casually let it go.
My mum and I watched this clip and she is in tears....how could a mother be so negligent and cruel...just wanna hug the young lady
It's been a tumultuous day. Unfortunately, the mother failed to protect and support her daughter. I hope that Deonna finds peace and makes progress towards healing.
Yeah I saw it today it was truly sad I totally agree with what you’re saying
Of course she denied it. Allow me to give you some advice. Never take an abused child to their alleged abuser for clarification. Never, ever, never.
Things like this are hard to get over . I pray that she finds some type of healing and happiness
I can’t stop crying my heart breaks for her😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢smh just a sad situation and he got away with it 😡😡
Sending comfort, peace and love to this young Lady. ❤️💯🤞🏽🙏🏽
I second that ❤💯🤞🙏
It's asked. Not axed. Liked, not likeded.
Oh, oh that's horrible. And I actually believed that the mom was clueless from the tape smh. I'm so so sorry to this woman, she and her kids will always be in my prayers. Seriously, how sick do you have to be to knowingly leave your child with a man who is ruining her like that???
I knew it the whole time the daughter even said she ain’t do nun to help her then when the mom was on stage she acted like she cared when she knew the whole time
This story is gut-wrenching. My heart breaks for this young lady, you can tell she's in so much pain. I hope she has a good network of friends and family who can help her feel whole. I wish i could give her a big hug. 💛
First of all, this woman is absolutely beautiful, inside and out. I hope she knows this. I hate that this happened to her and what’s worse, is the fact that no one believed her and did nothing to help her heal! Praying for her! Just unreal!
SO THE MOTHER LIED ABOUT PROTECTING HER DAUGHTER.....................
Yep the mother did lied I couldn’t believe what I’ve heard
Yes she fed her innocent child to the predator....she actually knew he was a predator and while he was doing this shiii to her
Dude this woman is damaged she's still that 10yearold girl being abused 😭
She had an idea but did not know… ma’am that’s a ridiculous statement. This is horrendous. I’m so sorry for this child.
A lot of times I think when children take back their accusations especially when they as young as eight will feel an immense amount of guilt based on how the adults around them react. Interrogating them, asking them the same questions, being visibly upset, probably scares them so much they just want everything to go back to the way it was, even if how it was was horrible for them because they don't know that it can get better for them. Children will put so much responsibility onto themselves over adult issues, it's a scary time for them and the least adults can do is make them feel safe and comfortable.
100 percent spot on
This made me cry 😢 Honestly this is just so awful. I know she is an adult but I feel for her as a child having to go through that. Failed by both her so called parents. I don't think I could ever have a relationship with my mother if I were her 🙁 I wish her all the best going forward.
My heart breaks for her. Both of her parents abused her. I hope she gets therapy, because she looks like that scared little girl still. I just want to hug her and help her!!
That was both shocking and heartbreaking!!!
This really makes me upset. The mother looks guilty from the start
Whenever there's a serious topic and somebody spews little things thar are so insignificant to the main issue it means they are trying to skate around the questions. That mother knew..if that's what you want to call her...AND I KNEW RIGHT WHEN SHE FIRST SPOKE
